Center Cosmetic Surgery - Plastic surgery...?

Plastic surgery...?

I have always had low self-esteem, growing up my relatives would always call me ugly, and it really hurt me. I am thinking about getting plastic surgery, because it really would make me feel so much better about myself, but I can't convince myself that it is necessary enough that I should go through with it. I mean, by getting plastic surgery, it would make me feel so much more confident, but then again, my parents are really against it, and they think it's unnecessary. And it does cost a lot of money. So I guess I just want to hear some unbiased opinions about this.

You should understand that it's painful and it is actual surgery so there are risks. Your parents are right - it's expensive. However, the most important thing in the world in how you feel about yourself so if it will give you more confidence and enable you to face the world with more self-esteem - Go for it! Watch an episode or 2 of Extreme Makeover...you'll find it very interesting, I think...good luck
Plastic surgery is great if you have the money and the time to recover ( you look worst before you look better ). Don't listen to the negative people, they are just jealous that they don't have the time or the money or both. Most movie stars have something done on their face and body. Do we laugh at them or do we worship them....think about it....
I think this depends on how old you are. If you are still young, like younger than 25, I would wait. Sometimes people grow into their looks, or find other ways to help them feel better, such as diet, exercise, new hairdo, makeup techniques, etc. I didn't start feeling confident about myself until I reached 30. It's really a point where women start to feel more confident in themselves as most are established and successful. If you're older than 25 and feel there's nothing else you can do and that you've exhausted every other means by which you could feel better, if you're sure, and you have the money, understand that it could be botched and that it's painful and serious surgery and are willing to deal with it for the end result, then go for it. It's your life, your money.
well i got to see a pic before I can judge.

and trust that face God gave you to a scalpel? You never really know for sure how those surgeries turn out. Look, not to brag but as a child I was so ugly that I even got beat up for my horrible looks. Well guess what? I found my style and they all copy me now. Your time will come where you blossem and find your nitch. Be patient and enjoy just being you right now.
Your low self-esteem is not going to go away just because you get plastic surgery. Women you get plastic surgery for the same reason you do don't feel any better about themselves afterward the they did before. You probabley have a lot of self-esteem when someone feels atracted to you but when no one feels that way about you, you feel worthless. The same thing will happen after you get plastic surgery.The thing that will truly help you recover from your low self-esteem if loving who you are for who you are. By embrassing you as you are you build confidence in your identity which translates into an increase in your self-esteem. In turn, the more you enbrase yourself, the more attractive you will become to other men. Most overtly attractive girls today have low self-esteem because they need attention and admiration to feel good about themselves, you will just be another one of these low self-esteem attractive girls if you get this surgery.

If you are 18 or over, it really doesn't matter what your parents think about it. If you have the money, it's your decision. If you're under 18, you probably can't afford it and your parents won't pay for it because they're against it. If I were you, I would get a good education, get a good-paying job, and pay for the plastic surgery yourself. I think it is a fantastic idea for you to consider plastic surgery. Just make sure that your surgeon is reputable, board certified, and well-known & respected in your community. It will all be worth it when it's over.
plastic surgery will not cure low self-esteem. Work on that first. Most of us have something that just bothers us but when everything is a problem than it's not your face that's the real problem. A good plastic surgeon won't do surgery on you if you think it's going to change your life.
First, is your supposed ugliness just something pushed on you by your family? If so, you should tell them that they need to put up and shut up. After all, it's ~their~ gene pool. Second, is this something that isn't caused by the sum of your parts? Maybe you have glasses that don't frame your face well and contacts would be a better alternative. Maybe you have really pale skin that doesn't work well with your dark hair. Get your hairdresser to lighten you up a bit. Some things that are cosmetic aren't necessarily surgical. Play with your look before you play with your body (unless a Wonderbra or a new exercise program would help - and talk to your doctor about the exercise first). Little things like that can give you an amazing boost: "Look, I have eyes and not frames! Look, I'm not just a mop but it frames this awesome face and this new lip gloss really brings out how sensual my mouth is! I rock!" And if you're still in the puberty-ish range (even into your early twenties) surgery is a really bad idea. Believe it or not, your body is still arranging itself. Don't let some guy with a knife get in its way.
If you are considering plastic surgery, you must be honest with yourself. Exactly why do you want surgery? And, what are your goals for surgery-what do you expect plastic surgery to do for you? There are two categories of patients who are good candidates for surgery. The first includes patients with a strong self-image, who are bothered by a physical characteristic that they'd like to improve or change. After surgery, these patients feel good about the results and maintain a positive image about themselves. The second category includes patients who have a physical defect or cosmetic flaw that has diminished their self-esteem over time. These patients may adjust rather slowly after surgery, as rebuilding confidence takes time. However, as they adjust, these patients' self-image is strengthened, sometimes dramatically. It's important to remember that plastic surgery can create both physical changes and changes in self-esteem. If you are seeking surgery with the hope of influencing a change in someone other than yourself, you might end up disappointed. It's possible that friends and loved ones will respond positively to your change in appearance and self-confidence, however understand and accept that plastic surgery will not cause dramatic changes in people other than you. During your initial consultation, your plastic surgeon will seek honest answers to how you feel about your appearance, how you believe others see you, and how you'd prefer to look and feel. Honesty, with yourself and with the surgeon is essential. It's important that you set aside any awkwardness you might feel, and speak candidly about the changes you'd like to see. At the end of the consultation, you should feel confident that you and your surgeon understand each other completely. Also, it is unwise to stress a minor functional problem if your true desire is to have an improved appearance. A patient who pretends to be seeking relief for a functional problem may confuse the surgeon about that patient's true goals for surgery. Often these patients stress a functional problem with the hope of obtaining insurance coverage for the procedure even though a functional problem does not exist. If your goals for surgery are not clearly communicated to your surgeon, you may not be satisfied with the final result. Contacting a plastic surgeon is probably the best idea for advice.
